We are from Ponce de Leon. Willard had 3 sons, Wilbert Noel, Wayne Oliver and Wilton Baker Manning, and one daughter, Velora Vernell Manning Withers. Wilbert Noel is buried beside his father in the old Ponce de Leon cemetary, behind First Baptist. My father was Wilton Baker Manning, and he is also buried there. Wayne lives in Mims, Fl and Velora in Texas. I am seeking info on my familly, also. We attended a family reunion in the 1970s at a lake, somewhere in Coffee County, I think. Does this sound familiar? I don't know anything about James Lorenzo's parents or siblings, so any info would be appreciated. I have a copy of an audio tape about the history of Ponce de Leon, made by Mr. Lance Hughes, where he speaks of James Lorenzo and his railroad crew. This is also in the State ARchives.
